I am in despirate need of a dash cluster that works for an '86 Berlinetta with a V6. Can anybody help???

 

There is a Berlinetta Guru on thirdgen. Look for JohninRI. He has some parts that are available, probably has the dash you need. Here is his websiteBerlinetta info

John has a lot of info on Berlinettas. I have used him before.

 

Thanks for the info. I have gotten in touch with John & he is helping me with this problem. It will be nice to actually drive this car once. I've owned it for over a year, & driven it around the block once. It ran so bad I wondered if I would get home. The dash has never worked since I bought the car.

 

I bought my 85 Berlinetta as a project for me and my 16 year old. The dash didnt work, had a rod knocking and frame was cracked by the steering box. After a year of work, we finally got to drive it. My son lost interest in it this summer when we bought an 87 MR2. He likes 35 mpg better than 18 mpg!

Now I'm driving it all the time and I love it. Good luck with yours!

 

I bought this car from a teenager who got it in a trade with another teenager. Needless to say that it had been teenagered to death. I only hope that when I finally get everything fixed that I like the way it drives and handles. I've never owned a CAMARO before and just my luck this one is different from most CAMAROS. Although I do like all of the extras that it has.

 

I'm on the case !!!

Rob - You were not kidding about being "teenagered to death" !! That cluster looked like someone parcticed thier golf swing on it !!! It's probably the worst looking cluster I have ever seen !!!

I'll be in touch !!

 

John, now you know what kind of battle that I've been fighting since I bought this car! It wasn't just the dash cluster that was beaten with a golf club, there were several places. They ripped the stock radio out (and I do mean RIPPED), to the extent that they ripped the top off of the console from the gearshift forward. they also lost or threw away the bottom section of the dash. I call it a KICK PANEL, all I know is that it holds a light on each side that shines in the floor (I think). They put FIREBIRD wheels on it, you know the ones that are painted and say PONTIAC on one of the "spokes". Does anybody want to trade "Pontiac" wheels for "Berlinetta" wheels. Maybe someday I'll find enough peices to put this car back together!!!!
